Hi there - at some point during a few days diving in Curacao I noticed the environmental cap was a bit loose so I tightened it. Upon returning home and I gave my regs a good thorough soaking and cleaning - which includes removing the cap and seal and trim ring. I noticed that there was a touch of water under the seal as well as a spot below the piston.

Is this grounds for an immediate servicing? (I'm just about due for a yearly service anyway) I know a non-sealed first stage would have water in the ambient chamber anyway but with the sealed chamber I don't know if the water could find its way into the rest of the first stage.

thanks

Sean
